After official retirement in 2014, Wu Guoxin seized the "best time" to travel to more than 30 countries, inconvenient to go abroad after the epidemic, in the stable period of normalization prevention and control, in 2021, Wu Guoxin also walked through 25 cities, a total of 40 video works were filmed and published on the video number, received more than 670,000 hits, became the video number "2021 quality creator", and the drone alone "took off" more than 220 times. In the team that uses drones to shoot videos, Wu Guoxin is not alone at all, and Xu Jianchang and Chen Wanyi, who are also video enthusiasts, are two years earlier than him to play drones.

"In addition to taking panoramic views from high places where we can't reach, drones can also help us shoot videos from many unique angles, such as another view of the waterfall, plus a 10-meter-deep underwater scene with a sports camera." Although in order to use drone shooting, 73-year-old Wu Guoxin often has to walk a lot of roads over the mountains, get sunburned and frozen, and sometimes have to hurry, but in his mind, the drone seems to have become a pair of wings. "I don't feel hard at all, I feel very happy and happy, as if I flew into the sky!" At the LianbaoYeze Scenic Area at an altitude of 4,500 meters above sea level at the junction of Qingchuan, he also controlled the drone to rush to a height of 5,000 meters, "overlooking the mountains and small".

And the video of him and Xu Jianchang and others working together in 2021 to complete the "smooth completion of the suspension arch of the first pedestrian landscape bridge on the Pearl River in Guangzhou" is even more intense. In 2021, Wu Guoxin's WeChat video account received up to 670,000 hits, of which this video received 240,000 hits, making the two septuagenarian uncles become "Internet celebrities". Talking about the creative process, Wu Guoxin said: "When the Haixin Bridge was still under construction, many people did not know it, I found out early on that the bridge was being built, and I thought: It will definitely be a new landmark in Guangzhou. When the bridge body finally closes the dragon, be sure to go to the scene. Like you journalists, I remind myself to have a 'news eye'. But on the day of Helong, Wu Guoxin just had a gout attack and could not go to the scene, so he quickly called Xu Jianchang, and the two divided their work: Wu Guoxin cut other parts of the video at home and set aside a place for the Helong scene; Xu Jianchang quickly took the scene and quickly gave it to Wu Guoxin to grasp the final production.
After Xu Jianchang filmed the scene, he sent the material to Wu Guoxin, who immediately made up for this material at home with his body supporting the gout attack, just in time to go out on the street at the same time as the TV station broadcast news, and received 240,000 hits with the unique appreciation perspective of "fast" and old Guangzhou people, and also let more people know the new city business card of Guangzhou.
